Those were all great ideas, and they worked really well. This week’s plan of attack is a little different. For dinner this week, I’m planning to cook once and eat twice. Since I don’t want to do straight leftovers for every one of the ‘eat twice’ nights, I will have a little prep time for the second night. But I should still cut down the amount of time I’m spending in the kitchen each evening.

Tip: The best way I’ve found to manage the ‘eat twice’ part is to not do the ‘eat twice’ meals back-to-back. Somehow they feel less like leftovers when they’re eaten two days later.
